It is typical Berlin charm when a market hall preparing cultural place to be. This does present the Marheineke market hall in Kreuzberg in her gallery on the top floor where the store after the long hall renovation would not work as planned. The area is now free to give exhibitions and the first was this year, the cartoonist, Klaus Stuttmann with his political cartoons, followed by Berlin photographer Wolfgang Krolow, in the a show of his photographs showed the Kreuzberg district.
No mere photo exhibition is the current presentation "On request of the SPD on holiday" to life and work of William Kressman, who as the Kreuzberg district mayor in three terms from 1949 to 1962 the reconstruction and creation of the district like no other caused. These named show, a joint production of communitiy pulses initiative was to celebrate the 100th birthday of William Kress man in 2007 already in Kreuzberg shown Museum of Urban Development already and is now again in the Marheineke market hall made available to a wider audience. In addition to the photographic record of the life of "Texas-Willi," the nickname he received from the people of Berlin due to its honorary citizen of Texas, interesting documents from the everyday life of this time are on display. William Kress man was an uncomfortable edged politician against the flourishing black market and also very direct, separate from the high politics, fought against the construction of the wall in his district. He was above all the social welfare of his constituents at heart for joining very active. Kressmann example, was the founder of what is now known as the "aluminum tower lunch.
A in the photographic documentation interesting exhibition, not only to cross a mountain, but at that time in Berlin in the reconstruction, which was very special. Interesting to see that some problems in this city, despite the change are still valid today.
